Engine Cooling problem
1999 Hyundai Accent 4 cyl Automatic 59,000 miles

what is causing my car to leak coolant fluid into the inside of the car behind the radio under the dash, and causing the car to overheat? What parts are affected that need to be repaired/replaced to solve these issues?

I would love to donate but don't have a credit card. I am an old lady.

The symptoms you have described are that of a faulty heater core or collapsed heater hose at the heater core. This is what allows the vehicle's heater to blow warm air. Coolant flows through the heater core which is behind the dash, so if it fails it will leak coolant into the interior of the car and cause engine to overheat

Yes that is correct, it could be a leaky hose at the heater core or the heater core itself may be bad.
